Striking Architectural Photos Shot From The Perfect Angle

Striking Architectural Photos Shot From The Perfect Angle

Architectural (and real-estate) photography is one of the most challenging and technical types of photography. In most cases, the goal is to get a clean shot with perfect lighting showing the place at its best and "sell" it to the viewer. It usually means the photo will show the location in a wide-'normal' angle and without distortion. But there is a different kind of Architectural photography that shows buildings and rooms in a unique angle, creative lighting, and usually shows only small part of it. It's about making art out of architecture. Check out these great images showing just that!

3 things these almost all have in common
-10 Stop ND Filter
-Frequency separation
-Silver Efex 2

...and? Don't c your point!!

16 different photographers!

And you think all of them used a 10 stop ND filter, frequency separation and Silver Efex 2?

How do you know??

Since he doesn't answer (apparently for the lack of any explanation) let's just consider this just as a troll comment! We move on ;)

Well processed indeed.
 

What is frequency separation?
